Influence of Entrepreneurship Education on the Entrepreneurial Profile of Public Technical Education Students in the State of Espírito Santo

Keywords: Entrepreneurship; Entrepreneurship Education; Entrepreneurial Profile.Abstract
This study investigates the influence of entrepreneurship education on the formation of the entrepreneurial profile of technical education students. To this end, the General Enterprising Tendency Test (TEG2) (Caird, 2013) was administered to students from the State Technical Education Centers (CEETs) in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The TEG2 assesses five factors: Need for Autonomy, Need for Achievement, Creative Tendency, Calculated Risk, and Locus of Control. Data collection was conducted via Google Forms in February 2024, covering four institutions. Data analysis employed the Student’s t-test to compare mean differences between groups. No significant differences were observed between graduates and incoming students; however, when gender was considered, female respondents exhibited a higher Need for Achievement and a lower Calculated Risk among graduates. Among male students, Calculated Risk was higher among graduates. The findings indicate that entrepreneurship education in the CEETs did not produce the expected advances, suggesting the need for reflection on the role of these institutions and the efficiency of public resource management.
